Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Langton Green
We survey let and shared roofs in Langton Green and across London and the South East. Time on site typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely including by drone where it applies. A written report with photos follows. We are frequently asked to look into ponding or splits on flat roofs and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, across shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats.
In a smaller place like Langton Green, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. A close look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Langton Green, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Related advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily leaving water standing. They’re checked during the survey.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We record anything visible.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. A report with photos gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof, useful for planning maintenance.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Langton Green
The wider area around Langton Green has a long history of building, with Groombridge Place about 1.5 miles south-west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Corn Exchange, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Langton Green Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Langton Green
Finding a roof defect early usually means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Langton Green, so it is useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. The report is written in plain language.
Keep the roof space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.

Langton Green questions
Will you come out to Langton Green?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Tunbridge Wells station?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
